Changing an item type

Hi,

Do you have any plans, regarding the option of assigning an existing item to another item-type?

This request was born, when a global item-element somehow "lost" it's item type in backend, and I was forced to delete the global element, and create it anew, and add it to all the pages where the original global element existed. Lots of work that could have been avoided, if I could just re-assign the global element an item type.

 

I am sure there are other ways of using this functionality, so yeah, any plans on implementing it? :)

Hi Jacob

No plans as it involves a lot of potential issues. You can always go about it in the database, which of course is not an everyday task. But can be used in cases like the one you describe.

Of course a paragraph should not loose its reference to an item.
